I am a young woman who is of a Caribbean ethnicity, and American by nationality. I'm married to a white man, whom I met during my teens. We've been together for nearly a decade. I have some female relatives and friends who are also married interracially. I share my experiences and thoughts in order to encourage and support other black women who are in interracial relationships or considering the possibility. 
Friends call me “a natural born collector” and I guess they’re right. I’ve always loved movies and as I got older I collected 35 & 16mm film, VHS tape and finally DVDs. One of my favorite genres is interracial films. I especially like those that show the progress of B & W couples in different eras.
Some of the more interesting ones are Mr. & Mrs Loving, the BW/WM couple who took their case to the Supreme Court of U. S. and caused the crime of “miscegenation” (i.e. interracial marriage) to be struck down. Keep in mind this was as recent as 1967.
Going back into American history is the case of Thomas Jefferson who fell in love with slave girl Sally Hemings played by one of my favorite black actresses, Thandie Newton. Jefferson’s wife’s father was a plantation owner who had a black mistress, Sally’s mother. Sally looked so much like Jefferson’s dead wife that he couldn’t help falling in love with her. It was quite a political scandal. The Jefferson heirs have denied the pairing of the couple even though modern day DNA testing proves that it’s true.
“Tamango”, starring Dorothy Dandridge as a slave girl on a slave ship sailing to America. She is the mistress of Curt Jurgens, the white man who captains the ship and she inspires a rebellion of the slaves. Halle Berry played Dorothy Dandridge in the movie about her life. One heartbreaking scene was that even when she was a Hollywood star she went to a white resort and was told not to use the pool. For a joke she splashed her foot in the pool and the manager had the pool drained and cleaned. Ironically, the cleaners were black workers.
Going back to another captain is the African film “The Amazing Grace” (not the British film of the same name). British captain John Newton is a slaver. On a trip to catch slaves in Africa he meets and falls in love with a black woman. He tells her he loves her, but he cannot take her back to England with him because she would become a slave there. She commits suicide and he decides to quit the slave trade. After this reformation he writes the famous hymn “Amazing Grace”. It was made on a minuscule budget and plays havoc with history, but it makes us care about the characters.
Moving just ahead in American history we have “The Feast of All Saints,” a TV mini-series about “the free people of color” in New Orleans. These were black people who had either bought their freedom or were born free. Evidently, white men of the period kept what the French called a “petite maison” or a little house where a mistress (in this case a black mistress) and the children resulting from that co-habitation lived. Each year there would be a “Quadroon Ball” where white men chose black women they wished to make their dark wives. The woman and her children would be kept in fine style, be well educated, and many times have servants of their own. They were treated well in every particular, except they could never recognize their “wives” or children in public. An underrated mini-series with another of my favorite black actresses, Gloria Reuben.
As we come to the Civil War there is Alex Haley’s “Queen” starring Halle Berry. She is brought up as a close companion for the daughter of a plantation owner. She is fair and so treated like one of the family that she thinks of herself as white. After the war, she passes for white and a rich white man wants to marry her. He gets a bit too affectionate one night and she confesses she’s black. He beats her and leaves. The rest of the film depicts her misadventures in the white world. It was this mini-series that made me realize that Halle Berry was a truly fine actress. She deserved her Academy Away for “Monster’s Ball”.
Moving to the 1950′s era there is “Foreign Student” starring Robins Givens and Marco Hofschneider. A beautiful little film about a French boy going to college in the deep South. He meets Robin Givens and falls in love with her. He wants to take her back to France where interracial prejudice isn’t a problem. It doesn’t happen, but the talent in this film is amazing, especially when “Howling’ Wolf” takes an interest in the boy and takes him to a black night club against almost everyone connected with the club. This is my favorite of all interracial movies.
“Cadillac Records” depicts the late 50′s when Rock ‘n’ Roll was all the rage and black singers finally made inroads on white radio stations. You’ll meet actors playing Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Little Walter and Etta James played by Beyonce Knowles. There is another heart-breaking moment when Leonard Chess, founder of Chess Records take Beyonce out to dinner. The wait staff serve her with all the disdain they can manage and she tell Leonard (Adrien Brody) that “they’ll break the dishes after I leave. Suddenly, he realized what black people must go through and he understands and emphasizes with her.
Now up to the present day and we have “Something New” about a successful lawyer, Sanaa Latham, who goes on a speed dating site and agrees to meet Simon Baker who makes his living as a landscape artist. She’s shocked to find that he’s white and instantly says “no thanks” and rushes off. It turns out her boss’s wife has recommended Simon Baker to landscape her garden. She’s waiting for the smallest word from him to show his racial prejudice. He finally tells her that he isn’t prejudice and frankly tells her to stop trying to search his mind and heart for what isn’t there. All ends well, as we knew it would, but not without a few problems on the way.
I could name at least a hundred more films, but they all point to the same basic idea: white men and black women have been falling in love with each other for several hundred years. The only thing that has keep them apart is the prejudice of racist societies. Now that that is mercifully ending, its time to understand that both white and black can love each other and stop looking for reasons to stay apart.
Ever wondered why some white guys, love black women so much?
It seems that being a white male and proclaiming your attraction to black women (not only sexually, but also romantically) may lead to a lot of controversial and dangerous things. Let’s leave the debate of why more black women may be opening themselves up to white guys. The main focus of this debate is why some white guys are opening themselves to black women? Let’s concentrate on that.
Most white males don’t feel like they are running short of white women to marry. White males just marry at high rates. So question is: Why black women? The thing is it will not be fair to bundle up black women as one since everyone is their own person… be it in appearance or personality.
However, one thing that a white male friend of mine said… and I let him get away with bundling it all up is: “We love a black woman’s confidence, her tenacity and her undeniable achievements in the face of great adversity…? Since this info was coming from a man, there was definitely the mention of the lips, the curves, and that wonderful skin as well.
So what about stereotypes like “black women are either sexually conservative or total sluts?” Many people give so much lip service to interracial dating. You would think they have never done it. But those uptight individuals are the ones that spread these stereotypes. What happened to the highly educated black woman? How about the caring, decent and involved black woman?
Probably most white guys and others are confused with the stereotypical trash people spread around and if you are one that falls for such lame ol’ lines, then you sure as hell haven’t dated a black woman.
Bottom line, you don’t have to sacrifice who you are for a white guy. They will love you anyway. Just be you and open yourself up… and if you like white guys, some white guy will find you too.

I go to the website “all romance ebooks” and they have a very large selection of BW/WM romance and erotica. So you can add more novels to your list.
True, I haven’t updated this page in a while now. I know I need to.
I would love to see more movies/shows of interracial couples (e.g. black woman with white man or black man with white woman).
I do get tired of seeing mainly couples staying in their own race.
Why can’t people come out their comfort zone, follow their true heart, and accept those who come from different race/culture?
